FOTT Trip

FOTT had a striking time this Sunday at Zone 28 for our final FOTT Trip of the program year! Members enjoyed some friendly competition, creative coloring, and a delicious applesauce bar. It was awesome to see everyone cheering each other on and showing what positive sportsmanship looks like. We’re already looking forward to rolling into more fun at FOTT Summer Late Nights—coming soon!

I-Volunteer June 2025

For I-Volunteer, Friendship Circle teamed up with the Squirrel Hill Urban Coalition, JCC Center for Loving Kindness, and the Church of the Redeemerfor an amazing night of giving back! Together, we rolled up our sleeves to trim hedges, pull weeds, and prune flower beds—giving new life to a beloved local community garden.

After all that teamwork and dirt under our nails, we celebrated with a well-earned snack in the shade and a whole lot of pride in what we accomplished! Big thanks to everyone who came out — it’s incredible what we can do together! #VolunteerNight #CommunityPower #GardenGlowUp

TwitterFacebookLinkedinPrintemailA WEEKLY TORAH THOUGHT FROM RABBI MORDY Instead of writing about this week’s Parsha (Va’etchanan), I’m going to deviate because this Shabbos is a special and exceptionally joyful Shabbos, called Tu B’av (the 15th of Av). Wait, you may ask, a joyful day? Last Shabbos had us preoccupied with Tisha B’av, considered the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. Give… Read More
